Bear deciding if he is gonna eat your cam or not.

  and it isn't a joke because they WILL eat/destroy/steal cameras.  Security boxes work well for bears or taking a panel of 1x1/2 hardware cloth and screwing it over the front of the camera.  A bear can still wreck this but flossing with wire is unpleasant enough that I haven't had any ruined like this.

Oh, I wasn't kidding. He was sniffing and checking things out. Eat or don't eat?

 I think the eye in the 2nd pic is too big for a bear. I think it's an elk also.
